It seems to me like a better buy and hold than fix and flip kind of area, but I'm still researching.From what I've seen, a vibrant "hipster"- like influence and community is growing there, ala Pilsen = better tenants and higher rents?

The areas surrounding Wayne State University are most definitely vibrant, even when they don't always seem that way from an outside perspective.

If i had to narrow it down I would for the east coast Miami-Dade is popular and vibrant for quality of life, and on the west coast st. pete / tampa bay are great markets.

CapEx always seems to keep up with inflation, even though prices and rents do not always.On the other hand, in a vibrant and growing community cash flow may start out lower, but is will go up over time as prices and rents exceed inflation, or at the very least stay steady as they keep up with inflation. 

Hearing of San Antonio vibrant lifestyle and diverse culture, I, Ben Aziz, moved here in 1998 and have been a resident ever since.

Is it vibrant, slowly dying, up&coming?
